It was years ago, but I’ve eaten at one of the major truck stop brands (Flying J) and it was higher level than any brand restaurant as far as service and what they offered.

That is my response, every damn time.

This is really no different than the lack of a 13th floor. It doesn’t make sense, but things bow to public pressure, and an internet meme can be peak pressure. Hell, what about Name McName, look how things bend to try and avoid that trap. I still think the best approach is a parental one of accepting it and even parodying it so the original users get tired, bored, or embarrassed. Trying to avoid it is a form of Streisand effect, it enhances the desire.

A bit 🌽y to me

Yes, it’s on the list too at 33 MJ/L. Lower than conventional, but still higher than ethanol. The usual mix for drop in use with typical diesel engines is 10% bio/90% conventional. It’s a good use of recycled material vs. just disposal.

Than gasoline or diesel? No, they don’t. Wikipedia has a large chart on their article for energy density of various sources. Some things are harder to directly compare with each other, but diesel has 38 MJ/L, with jet fuel/kerosene and gasoline at 36/35. Adding ethanol dilutes the energy output some, while pure ethanol is 24. It’s still a potent source (but with its own costs and effects that need to be included in the net equation). Chemically petroleum simply has more bonds to break and get energy from.

I didn’t fuck the chassis up. That’s all I’m saying.

I’ve learned that’s either a sign or a requirement of middle management. I like to go through and correct the errors on posted messages.

Never give any info in a security error. Just say there was an error. Goes right along with the rule to sanitize any and all input. Trust no one and nothing.

The “I have a flag” of being manly.

MAGA, when Nazis were fringe groups, and got punched when showing up in public.

Calvin Ball. Since he’s so prone to making up rules as he goes.

Are you talking about murder? Because if anything legal morality is far better than most religious when it comes to killing people. And that’s even with capital punishment still practiced.

I knew someone in high school who had a hard cover copy of the book with the design, and inside at one particular point the text changes color as it describes everything. No spoilers, if you’ve read it you know. I don’t recall if the movie had that exact scene. Also don’t know if every copy of the book does that, but being what it was, it was surreal, as it was meant to be.

They originally were the Knights Who Say Ni, but broke up for a while for some solo work, then reunited as The Knights Who Say Ekki Ekki Ekki Pitang Zoom Boing. Best rap album ever, with the chart topper “Only a Flesh Wound”.

Note: the frequencies you get will vary depending on the brand, as well as beef vs. chicken.

Or left as Reddit burned down. Not everyone needed a ban to look elsewhere, we just needed an elsewhere to find.

Sure, let’s keep going towards the goal of better solutions. Even this meme doesn’t say or imply that it has to be all green, and it simply can’t. Some things need a high energy density or other features that unfortunately only petroleum has. It really is an amazing substance. That causes problems. Everything has a cost.

There are numerous fanfic versions of the GoT show that are far better at including forgotten characters, plots, and tying up loose ends. My conclusion is that D and D had seen them all beforehand as things progressed and refused to bow to fans, so they got cornered into making bad choices. This isn’t necessarily valid, just my way of rationalizing away that they were just probably bad writers, period. They started off strong using someone else’s work, they should have finished it doing the same (just a different source).

That’s what holds US gas prices down, subsidies. Helping large scale things be possible is what a government should do. There’s many things that wouldn’t have happened without the government paying for it.

The kicker is that if they switched to green and took away paying for petroleum, things would collapse, as green alone isn’t going to support our society. That’s the dead end we’ve walked ourselves into. It’s not one or the other, it’s what can we supplement or phase out with a better solution. And that kind of work needs government support, from subsidies to regulations to a supervisor that directs the change vs. relying only on free market.
